Finding God inside the Holy Temple of Your Body

My poem below is also a prayer from my autobiographical poetry book, A Rape Survivor's Spiritual Journey: My Poems and Practical Exercises, which will be released soon.  I recommend praying it out loud whenever possible because there's power in the spoken as well as the written word.  Say these  words knowing that God lives inside the holy temple of your body waiting for you to call on Him.  

The Spirit of God lives and breathes with me.

I breathe with the Spirit.
I AM one with the Spirit.
I AM God’s Spirit.


At all times and in all places, the Spirit of God lives and breathes inside me.
I breathe with the Spirit.
I AM one with the Spirit.
I AM God’s Spirit.


The Spirit of God empowers me with the strength to
[insert your greatest challenge here].
I breathe with the Spirit.
I AM one with the Spirit.
I AM God’s Spirit.


Say these words knowing that God lives inside the holy temple of your body waiting for you to call on Him.
